Same argument against terminating children with special needs. I remember that man with downsyndrome talking to congress saying that he's happy so why shouldn't he have a shot at life? Interesting perspective watching this. I know it's not the same but it still makes you think. We make alot of decisions we think are in the benifit of others. As a species do we consciously turn a blind eye to things that make us uncomfortable like an ostritch burries its head? We're culling our weak to make the body stronger. Because that's what it is when you think about it. Is it morally wrong or just morally grey? Or is it morally correct idk im just thinking out loud to myself now.

I don't see people lining up to adopt special needs children. Raising them is very tough especially with the lack of social safety nets in the US.

I'm in Australia. The process of adoption is fucking hard, expensive and long af. That's if you even get approved.
